EDIT: To prevent further misunderstanding I will abide by VON_CAPO's rule book and add that this post has: (no offense intended)
Had to interrupt that post, so forgive the "double post" of sorts.
Carrying on,
VON_CAPO, further back you've made the following statement:
Quote:

I understand that american people are well trained to obey "authority" (no offense intended);...

All you people worried about personal attacks, look here now. VON_CAPO believes he can make this statement without intending offense, however, when I present ideas contrary to his own he hides behind the "no offenses please"?
Is this it VON_CAPO? You can make statements about entire groups of people without offending them, however, I cannot make a statement about your hypocrisy without it being a personal attack? This only proves the hypocrisy even further, there is one rule for you and one for everybody else.
And finally about the Chinese or Teheranian point, that's a counter-argument to precisely the statement I quoted here. If you were in China or Teheran and if you would not rebel against the authority because there would be painful consequences, then you can't speak anything of the American people if under harsher circumstances you'd just bow and obey, though you're willing to rise against authority in the USA where the Rule of Law guarantees your personal safety to do so. And if it is possible to rise against authority in the USA, that means the American people are not submissive to authority, otherwise their system would not grant you the freedom to take these guards to court had you been personally involved if you wanted to.
